Ambiguous medication timing orders (e.g., BID interpreted as 0900/1700 vs Q12H 0900/2100) cause dangerous scheduling errors and staff conflict.

No software exists to standardize medication schedule interpretation based on drug type or to flag ambiguous orders for clarification.

Clinical decision support that maps medication frequency abbreviations to evidence-based timing intervals and automatically flags inconsistencies

App Concept

MedSchedule Clarifier

A clinical decision support app that interprets ambiguous medication frequency orders (BID, TID, etc.) against drug-specific best practices and facility protocols, flagging discrepancies and prompting clarification before administration. It reduces medication errors and inter-shift conflicts.

Key Features

Drug-frequency mapping: links each medication to standard timing intervals (e.g., Q12H for antibiotics)
Order ambiguity detection: flags BID, PRN, etc. when drug or context suggests a different interval
Clarification workflow: sends alert to pharmacist or prescriber for verification
Audit trail: logs all clarifications and final schedule to EHR

Target Users: Nurses and pharmacists in psychiatric hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, and other inpatient settings with paper or electronic order entry

Revenue Model: $15/mo per licensed user (nurse, pharmacist) or $500/mo per facility for unlimited users
